I wonder how much the "liberal arts degrees are a waste of money" and the "pursue your dream of writing cooking blogs and Egyptian hieroglyphic travel sites" spheres overlap.

all the tech idiots thinking things will end up more star trek and less brazil is pretty indicative of their lack of exposure to how actual humans act when backed up by unquestionable edicts, regardless of if they are issued by machine or not. or they all think they will be tuttle.

Star Trek is cool and all but they also have the ability to create matter out of literal thin air and anyone who thinks we're going to have a utopia while capital is still in finite supply has chosen to simply gloss over the single most important piece of technology the show has

Snapchat A Titty posted:it was part of the episode with the substitutes for deceased loved ones which were pretty much just markov chain bots. in an early scene, the guy makes fun of a childhood photo and puts it on his profile for lols. then later when the bot comes across the picture, it thinks he was genuine and acts like it.

isn't Star Trek a Santa Claus economy where you ask for what you want once a year and an ai gives you it if it thinks you're deserving or something.

pointers posted:why do nerds hate fixing things so much that they gotta engineer new problems isntead i think some of them are genuinely trying to fix the problems, or at least think they are the problem is that they only vaguely understand these problems, and only from the perspective of a rich white male who's never faced any real obstacles in their life and idealizes technology to the point of fetishizing it. they certainly don't understand why these problems happen or what needs to be done to realistically fix them. and when all you really have is a hammer (and a shitload of money, but giving money to poor people is unamerican), it's time to disrupt the gently caress out of some nails people who understand that a problem exists and needs to be fixed, but don't actually understand the problem itself or how to fix it, are remarkably gullible and prone to doing stupid poo poo

that post is pretty funny because he gets flirts so close to advocating for essentially communism and then veers off and claims that our wonderful future utopia is going to be brought about by a system in which people's employment is even less secure and more exploitative.
